Trade deadline discussion

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Acting like the Jazz could be fixed by drafting your favorite 2nd rounders is the most pie in the sky BS I've heard in a while.

Jared Butler would be looking like a damn steal if some scrub team picked him up in the 2nd round instead of us. The Jazz just arent playing rookies like that unless forced to. Stop pretending otherwise.

The Jazz have had one issue that: Spending (money or picks) too much on backup centers. That's literally it. Everything else is just nitpicking and being Captain Hindsight.

Conley's a great player and our best hope as is. If he can never stay healthy in the playoffs it is what it is. It's worth the risk. He's that good and you consistently **** on him and act like he's trash. Go back to making a billion post about how badly you want to trade Conley for Julius Randle and get off my nuts.

Conley is a great player and a great dude. I don't make any of this personal. I don't judge players personally.

We would have been better served re-signing Rubio for less than half of Conley's salary, kept Jae and kept our picks.

Or we should have ponied up what New Orleans wanted for Jrue Holiday.

Many of us were saying that then and are saying that now.

Uncle Jeff was a good signing... Quin gave him the Rudy Gay minutes but DL thought the negative valued Rayjon Tucker was better

He likely ended up with some of the Ed Davis stink on him. Ed was so bad that he murdered every lineup he was in.

Like I said before, Conley is good but not that good. kinda like the jazz themselves as a team... GTFO now... everything people said about Conley here, they are really talking about Chris Paul, who's basically transformed the suns since he got there. Conley isn't that for the jazz... like at all

Exactly. Jrue Holiday or Chris Paul would have been better fits.

Nobody can dispute that.

Mike Conley is severely underrated by every moutbreather on this board.

The Jazz could’ve ****ed this up worse than they did, but had they done the simple, easy moves that were there and done some of this stuff they’d be positioned so, so much better.

Just in the last two years the Jazz have traded a lightly-protected 1st far enough out that the Jazz could convey a lottery pick just to get off that horrific Favors signing. FIVE (!!!) 2nd rounders just to save money (and most of those contracts were avoidable). Drafting Doke.

Not to mention the 2nd Exum contract. Woof.

Just… if they had just not committed obvious blunders where would we be?

yeah Ed Davis was a BS signing, but uncle jeff can still play

Not at all. Dude has ZERO interest playing in Snyder's system. It had nothing to do with Davis. He was just a terrible fit.

Paul and Holiday are the deals that we should've made. they are that good. And they don't even cost that much more than Conley.

it has nothing to do with what Uncle Jeff wants. He's signed a deal here and logged 20min the night before he was waived by DL. It's not like Quin refused to play him or vice versa. It's DL who wanted Rayjon Tucker over him. Period.

Mike Conley is a great player and a good dude. That doesn't mean he was a great fit for what we needed.

Derrick Favors was a good player and a great dude, but he didn't fit what we needed.

The Ed Davis signing was universally praised. Like insanely praised. Both on this board and in national media.

I was one of the few people here, or anywhere, saying it was a bad move in real time.

Jazz sign Ed Davis

Favors to the Pelicans

This is what makes this **** so funny. 90% of the board praised this move when it happened, but now y'all want to act like it was the dumbest signing of all time.

**** out of here.
